Saturday, December 31, 7-8:30pm, Columbus Mennonite Church, 35 E. Oakland Park Ave.

The Dances of Universal Peace are simple, meditative, and joyous circle dances that celebrate the variety of spiritual paths on Earth. If you like folk dancing, you’ll be right at home here. No previous experience is needed — just an open and willing attitude. Participation, not presentation, is the focus.

This annual New Year’s Eve event, sponsored by the Shalem Center, will be preceded by an Aramaic Lord’s Prayer cycle [beginning at 5pm] and a potluck meal [beginning at 6:15pm].
